Lexaria Bioscience Corp. announced the availability of a broadcast titled, ?Exciting New Cures Possible from GLP-1 Diabetes, Weight-Loss Drugs.? With each new study, the horizon of GLP-1?s therapeutic potential expands, painting a vibrant picture of a future where a single molecule could tackle a multitude of human afflictions, including neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), cardiovascular conditions (e.g., heart disease, high blood pressure, atherosclerotic plaques, inflammation), cancer, autoimmune disease (e.g., Crohn?s), and many new possibilities; studies are investigating the efficacy of GLP-1 drugs on kidney disease, liver disease, bone health and even aging.

With so many proven and potential blockbuster indications, enhanced delivery and increased efficacy would supercharge the impact of GLP-1 agonists. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. intends to do just that with its patented DehydraTECH platform developed to improve the way active molecules enter the bloodstream upon oral ingestion.

DehydraTECH has demonstrated enhanced delivery of certain active molecules into brain tissue, which has particular importance for centrally active compounds via oral administration. Lexaria has also developed DehydraTECH formulations for other applications demonstrating superior bioabsorption when administered intraorally (sublingual or tissues of the mouth).
